high build number fever

Natedog, and I could be wrong about everything I'm about to rant about, due to the necessary nature of mystery as to the origins of these new builds needing to be preserved in order to preserve our access to them, you're not going to find a formal changelog. Also unlike most/all custom roms, Da_G's here, among other important purposes, to set up rom kitchens and, secondarily to those kitchens, what you find on this thread of the absolute latest builds on the streets with virtually everything stripped off and the only tweaks being behind-the-scenes performance things (rather a byproduct of his kitchens I should say which by the way I recommend you all try (the kitchen gets updated first btw and this thread tags along days behind)) which I believe most or a lot of the chefs keep a sharp eye for another Da_G kitchen release, grab a new one and swiftly tack on their own tweaks and cosmetics and release it to their fans. In that sense Da_G is the xda godfather.

A lot of what fuels upgrading software around xda country, whether it's Opera or CE builds, is what I'd call a pervasive high build number fever pandemic. I suspect a lot of people here are perfectly happy with their rom, got all their software meticulously tweaked on top of their already tweaked rom, it's stable and fast or whatever but bam! they reload Da_G's thread or arupp's or whoever and they see the number go to 23001 to 23003 and they have no choice but to flash due to an irrational compulsion, starting over again just to bump up that build number without even knowing the answer to your question, what's the difference with this one. If you really care, your best shot at getting an answer is not this thread as it's pretty quiet but on the threads of popular roms that use Da_G's as a base, perhaps like this one, or maybe his kitchen thread. But as a self admitted noob, don't go on that kitchen thread and ask something like what you just did, that's sort of a sanctuary for non-noobs. Just read, maybe try the kitchen if you work up the nerve. It's a rush.

I don't know what the difference is here, but I'd like to think whoever made it originally before Da_G got his hands on it didn't make it worse than recent ones (an autocomplete bug notwithstanding for instance) didn't take too many steps backwards and hopefully improved the OS to take better advantage of the hardware more efficiently somehow; but when I flash it, I doubt I'll notice any improvements even if I try to benchmark things with a stopwatch and attempt to do amateurish battery tests. But screw it I have to do it anyway because of that nasty high build number fever I caught. There is no known cure but people try to treat the unpleasant symptoms by experimenting with different backup software but the purists among us only back up contacts and text messages (some might spend time tweaking up sashami to get those cabs rolling in fast) so as not to restore data that will overwrite new rom improvements with more invasive backup software like spb or sprite.

I'm mostly guessing in answering your question and if I'm wrong hopefully someone will reply and correct me but what I can tell you is that a long time ago I tried asking the same thing everywhere (including google) and nobody knows or whoever does know ain't telling.
